—tin last Saturday nigh' thieves
gained an entrance into the confection
ery shop of Mr. Sylvia on Main street
and stole a 'ot of eigais and candy. No
clue 10 the scoundrels. It is said that
on the jsamc night an attempt was
uiade to bieak into Musser A Smith's
hardware store. Somebody must have
been after post office boodle.
—John K.tollman, who is at present
sojourning in Europe, writes tn his
brother, D. S. KaulTtn.iii, ol this place
that he has traveled over the greater
part of Get many and has landed in
Leipzig, where he expects to attend
lectures in the University. lie ex
presses himself greatly pleased with
what he saw of the old countries.
—The pipes and other fixtures for
beating the Hosiery factory at this
place b> steam liaVo arrived, and Mr.
Ruck, from Bellefonte, a practical
plumber, will be down this week to put
the heating apparatus in place. As to
the electric light enterprise spoken of
in last week's Centre II ill ZiVyKtrbr, we
have yet to hear the first word about it.
AN APPEAL FOR BUILDING FUNDS.
—The building committee of the new
Lutheran church of Cobuni would re
spectfully rt mind those who have sub
scril>ed to said new church edifice, that
they are sorely pressed for funds in or
der to push the work as far as possible
before winter and would therefor kind
ly request an early payment of said sul
script ions.
—Jacob Kerstetter, of lVnn town
ship, brought a husk of corn to this ot
fice last Saturday which presents quite
a curious freak of nature. It cont 1111s
eleven well-developed ears varying in
length from three to five inches, which
are grouped very much in the shape of
a bouquet. We concluded that what
Kerstetter don't know about raising
corn isn't worth knowing.
CARD OF THANKS.—F. IX Luse de
sires to express through these columns
his sincere thanks to all those who len
dered euch unselfish and valuable as
sistance at the late lire at their planing
mill, as well as his full appreciation of
of the kind words of encouragement
and cheer which have been given him
since the fire. He has found that
"friends in need, are friends indeed."
—Speaking from a literary and musi
cal standpoint Millheim has been as
quiet and indifferent in the past two or
three yeais as if these important bran
ches of culture did not exist at all.
While we are advancing in business
respects, and in other matters that
might as well not t>e mentioned, we are
decidedly going backward as to litera
ture and music. This is not as it
should t e.
—Newspiper work sp*ros to pay at
least in some instances. We notice in
the Bellefonte Daily Xctcs that Rotiert
l'.Tnten, who was in partnership with
his brother, Edward T. Tuten several
years ago, in conducting the Bellefonte
Republican, and who now publishes a
paper in Iron Mountain, Mich., lias
turned banker and is one of the incor
porators of a National Bank in said
place, with a capital of $50,000.
—Those narrow-minded people who
thoughtlessly condemn the hook and
ladder apparatus are indeed to be Pit
ied. Any fair thinking man or woman
must have seen at last Saturday's tire
that without the ladders, the hooks,
the ropes, the fire axes and the poles
the men who fought the d imes would
have been in a sorry plight indeed.
Will pretty prejudices and old-fogyism
ever be laid aside in this borough ?
—A good appetiteis es-euti dto good
health; but at this season it is often
lost, owing to the poverty or impurity
of the blood, derangement of the diges
tive organs, and the weakening effect
of the changing season. Ilond's Sarsa
parilla is a wmd°rful medicine for
creating an appetite, toning the diges
tion, and giving strength to the whole
system. Now is the time to take it.
Be sure to get Hood's Sarsaparilla.
NATIONAL HOTEL poit RENT.— The
undersigned wishes to give notice that
her hotel property on Main street, Mill
heim, going under the name of Nation
al Hotel,will be for rent from April Ist,
18K8. This popular stand is in the very
best condition, has a central location,
and the buildings afford all the modern
accommodations. Cm be" rented on
easy terms. For further particulars

—The splendid new buildings which
are being erected in Bellefonte on High
and Allegheny streets impress the vis
itor with the enterprise and wealth
which our county seat must possess.
Bellefonte will certainly goon rank
among the very first cities in Pennsyl
vania so far as elegant buildings sjnd
lively industries are concerned. To look
at the furnaces and manufacturing es
tablishments, all in full operation, we
come to the conclusion, that the busi
ness tone of J?e lefonte is certainly very
healthy and prosperous.
—We learn from the Lewisburg Sut
itrtVaj 2\cws that Hon. C. S.-Wolfe, of
that place. • xpects to leave home this
\veek for a tiip to Dakota, where lie
has already m ula large investments isi
land. lie expects to establish himself
in law business, in Bismarck, list mav
not move bis family lor a few years un
til bis children who are now at school
and in college have graduat d. He an
nounces his positive determination,
however, of making Dakota his future
home, where he will try the experiment
of growing up with the country.

—The following exciting account of
the capture or a large bear near Zion
we take from Monday's Daily News :
On Saturday at noon Mr. Benjamin
Gentzel, of Zion. bad a most thrilling
adventure with a bear,w hich terminated
in a victory lor Mr. Gentzel and the
death of Brnin. Mr. (Jentz.ePs home is
in N iltany Valley beyond Nye Hank
just on the path leading from Nitluny
to Muncy mountains. On Saturday a i
tx'.ir started cut to make this trip, tak- (
iug a near cut through a corn field ,
which ts in gun-shot distance from Mr.
G's home.
Mr. Gentzel was in the laid at the i
time and had his gun with him, though
likely lie was not expecting such big
game. As soon as the bear was near !
enough, Mr. Gentzel took aim and rap
idly sent two or three loads of buckshot
into bis bearsliip's bide. The animal
stopped, looked around and when lie
saw who had given him such a warm
and unpleasant reception went for Mr.
Gentzel in lively style. Had lie caught
him Mr.Gentzel would have been hugged
more energetically than ever before.
Mr. G. sprang quickly behind a huge
stack of corn-stalks and yelled for help
as be knew friends were not far off.
Meanwhile, be tried to disable the bear
by giving him another taste of the con
tents of the gun. Among thoso who
put in an appearance and attracted the
attention of the hear, which was angry
and Nitlleiiuti IMIII, ilouiy uoiitzel,
a brother of the first mentioned. Bruin
run at Henry and took one of his legs
in his poweful jaws, and might have
crushed it had not Benjamin struck the
animal a powerful blow on the back
with the butt of the gun, breaking the
bear's back and also damaging the gun.
The bear is a monster. The gun was
taken to Mr. Deschner's gun shop for
repairs. We congratulate the Messrs.
Gentzel on their bold battle with the
bear and its fortunate outcome. With
the exception of the marks of the ani
mal's teeth left in Henry's leg, neither
of the brothers was injured.
MILLIIEIM'S FIRE LAST SATURDAY.
—Afternoon at about half past twelve
o'clock last Saturday our jteople were
attracted from their homes and places
of business by tbe columns of dense
black smoke which rolled up to the
hkies from Elias Lose & Son's planing
mill, east or the Evangelical-church on
Penn street,and which indicated a large
and destructive fire. It is supposed that
the fire had originated from a hot stove
pipe which rested on a beam in the
ceiling. When it was first discovered
by F. 1). Lose and some neighbors a
few little flames licked through the
roof and they attempted to check their
progress with the water contained in a
barrel which had been kept on the roof
for such an emergency. In several for
mer instances a serious conflagration
had been prevented by means of these
barrels but on this occasion the fire had
too much headway and there was not
enough water to extinguish the flames.
In but a few minutes the old and dry
shingle roof was one mass of fire,which
defied all efforts at saving any part of
the large frame building. The fire
company, assisted by several of the cit
izens turned their attention to the ma
chinery, the undertakers' goods, and
finished work, such as doors, sashes,
&c., OH the first and second floor, and
succeeded in getting most of it out of
the building before the flames envelop
ed the lour walls The men thus en
gaged did some fearless and noble work.
By this time the heat became so intense
that the building had to be abandoned
and, as a strong wind fanned the fierce
11 tines the fire fighters gave their at
tention to Michael Maize's dwelling
house and some stables, in close prox
imity, and prevented the spreading of
the lire. While the men worked under
a great disadvantage on account of the
scarcity ot water,the hooks,ladders and
ropes of our fire department were of
valuable service and were effectively
used. After an hour and a half's hard
work the fire was gotten under control
and all danger of the spreading of the
flames was past. Unfortunately the
Messrs. Lose carried no insurance and
their loss, which is estimated between
S9OO and SIOOO, is a severe blow for
them. Elias Lose, the older member of
the firm is at present from home, and it
is therefore in possible to s iy what will
become of the enterprise in the fu
ture. We earnestly hope that ar
rangements may ID perfected to rebuild
the mill, which employed several hands
almost steadily. The m lin building of
the mill used to be the old Evangelical
churcli,whiclUlie.Messrs.Loße purchased
about two years ago and its destruction
wipes out one of the oldest land marks
of this town.
